I have been loading bulk loading film for 50+ years. I first made a loader that had to be used in the D/R. Currently I use an AP Loader. This is he same as those marketed under several different names - Fuji, Kaiser etc. I have also got a Watson but have never actually used it.
I use reloadable plastic, metal, DX coded and not and reclaimed cassettes before they crimped them closed. Never tried extracting and reloading through the felt film opening. The only problem experienced other than the occasional scratched film and light leak at the beginning of the film or I didn't shut it properly, is hat I have found that 'Barfen' plastic cassettes jam in the loader.
